Structured around 25 intergenerational dialogues between 52 authors born in Spain and that we use from Wikiesfera to make the first editatonas of comic book authors and illustrators ]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elisa McCausland and Diego Salgado analyzed in this first session of the second cycle of dissemination what Spanish society was like at the end of the 19th century, where only the 30th century% of the population could read (compared to 70% Germany at the same time), how the illustrated press existed since the 1830s, but was austere and unplayful. It took decades for the comic to take hold and the language of the comic was something genuinely new to the country's visual culture. In this context, the first women who illustrated did so from the bourgeois class, where the plastic arts were part of the education of the \"ladies\". Names as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Madame_Gironella\">Madame Gironella<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laura_Alb%C3%A9niz\">Laura Alb\u00e9niz<\/a><\/strong> o <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ana_Maria_Smith\">Anne-Marie Smith<\/a><\/strong> led the way, followed by a second generation that included <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Petra_Amor%C3%B3s_Domaica\">Petra Amoros<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mar%C3%ADa_de_los_%C3%81ngeles_L%C3%B3pez_Roberts\">\u00c1ngeles L\u00f3pez Roberts<\/a><\/strong> y <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marga_Gil_Ro%C3%ABsset\">Marga Gil Ro\u00ebsset<\/a><\/strong>. Her natural space was fashion magazines and the women's press, not adventure booklets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the arrival of Alfonso XIII and the Second Republic, figures emerge who are already aware of creating a medium. Two of them represent opposing worldviews: <strong>Magdalena RoseIl<\/strong> He founded children's magazines from a conservative ideology. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lola_Anglada\">Lola Anglada<\/a><\/strong>, on the other hand, it is considered the first important figure in the Spanish comic: in 1925 founded <em>The Nuri<\/em>, a magazine aimed at the female children's audience, and her pictorial work came to be exhibited at the Thyssen. It also appears in this period <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Francis_Bartolozzi\">Pitti Bartolozzi<\/a><\/strong>, daughter of illustrator Salvador Bartolozzi, who <em>Cannito and his cat Peladilla<\/em> introduced elements of modernity into Spanish comics. The Civil War broke all this abruptly. Many illustrators went into exile. Those who stayed did so, often because they were needed: The war had left very few men to draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The postwar period brought with it an unsuspected reading culture: landscaped notebooks, humble in their production but with ferocious reading figures. Every week, millions of people read them, exchanged them or rented them. Collections as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colecci%C3%B3n_Azucena\">Azucena<\/a><\/em> o <em><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mis_Chicas\">My Girls<\/a><\/em> (born from surplus paper of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicos\">Guys<\/a><\/em>) were the space where many authors worked for decades. In those pages also emerged a character who subverted expectations: the bad girl, the rogue who didn't want to be tamed. <em><strong>Matildita, the terror of the neighborhood<\/strong><\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isabel_Bas\">Isabel Bas Amat<\/a>, <em><strong>The Adventures of Lalita<\/strong><\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pilar_Blasco\">Pilar Blasco<\/a> o <em><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/La_terrible_Fif%C3%AD\"><strong>The terrible Fifi<\/strong><\/a><\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nen%C3%A9_Estivill\">Nen\u00e9 Estivill<\/a> are examples of characters refractory to discipline who found their audience without making noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1960s, representative agencies opened up European markets to Spanish authors. They produced for the foreigner more modern comics that later returned to Spain. A community of authors, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%C3%81ngeles_Felices\">Happy Angels<\/a><\/strong> o <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trini_Tintur%C3%A9\">Trini Tintur\u00e9<\/a><\/strong>, who worked together on this circuit. The culminating figure of this period is <strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Purita_Campos\">Pure Fields<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, author of <em>Patty\u2019s World<\/em> (published in Spain as <em><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Esther_y_su_mundo\">Esther and her world<\/a><\/em>), one of the most important comics in Spanish history. His influence was such that several generations of mothers put \"Esther\" to their daughters in honor of the character. Although it has the appearance of romantic history, there is a melancholic and existential well that brings it closer to much more contemporary sensibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As in previous sessions, the meeting concluded with a reflection on the <strong>historical recovery work<\/strong> which still needs to be done. Some authors mentioned have little accessible information or have no articles on Wikipedia. Therefore, the project will continue with editing workshops where participants can create, translate or improve entries dedicated to these creators, contributing to reconstruct a genealogy that demonstrates that, also in the history of comics, <strong>women were always there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"gt-bibliografia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&gt;
